Lowell, MA: Lowell man convicted of killing girlfriend

LOWELL -- A Lowell man has been found guilty of killing his girlfriend during a game of Russian roulette and then disposing of her body in a trash container at a condominium complex.

Sulinda Sun was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder for the January 2008 death of 24-year-old Shannon Meara.

Witnesses testified during the two-week trial that the 24-year-old Sun would often point a .357 Magnum at his friends and Meara, but it was usually unloaded.


Prosecutors say on the day Meara was killed, Sun put a bullet in the chamber, pointed it at Meara and pulled the trigger.

He then disposed of the body at a Dracut condo complex.

His defense attorney called Meara’s death a tragic accident.
